My Friend's Buck from last night
 

Hey all. Last night was quite a night. Myself, my friend Ross, and our friend Brian all went out hunting despite the wind, mostly because the corn finally got cut at our honeyhole. We had all been seeing deer all night, but at about 6:20 a coyote spooked everything, so we decided to get down and not have to worry about spooking anything as they came back out. Well, we are walking out across the field and we see a deer coming our way, about 100 yards out. We hunker down in the middle of the field, wide open area, and the deer keeps coming. Brian had his release still on, so he knocked an arrow and I looked through the binos and see big body and rack. I whisper to him that it is a monster and reach in his pocket for the rangefinder. I ranged him at 40yds and Brian nailed him. We gave him an hour or so, even though we saw him go down, but just to make sure he didn't lay down for a rest. The three of us were crouched shoulder to shoulder when he shot him, quite the team effort. Quite a hunt! here's the link to the pic.

That's a good looking deer, some pretty heavy bases on that rack. Very nice.

That's an awesome story and one that all of you will be talking about for years to come.

I bet you are going to wear your release when walking out of the woods from now on. :D

well congrats to your friend and to all of you being able to be quiet and still enough out in an open cornfield and having that great deer get within bow range, congrats again.

Great job, that sure is a nice one!

RE: My Friend's Buck from last night
 

Nice deer and a very nice photo. What a set of circumstances, one heck of a job.

RE: My Friend's Buck from last night
 

i wear my realease going in climbing up and down and on the way out at all times. ive had at least 5-6 shots when walking in the last few years and its never worth it not to wear it, nothing worse then running into a monster and not be ready.

nice deer, congrats

RE: My Friend's Buck from last night
 

Very cool. That must have been an experience!
Congrats on a fine deer.

RE: My Friend's Buck from last night
 

Itwas quite the experience! I think that deer had made that trip across that field many many times in the past, and he was on a mission to get across again. Too bad for him!!! And yes, the release is going on in the car now!

RE: My Friend's Buck from last night

nice buck

RE: My Friend's Buck from last night
 

Very nice buck, your friend must be pumped. This story hopfully will teach people a valuable lesson, always wear your release and be ready for a shot. Unfortuantely i learned that lesson the hard way, had a beautiful 8 point that we were hunting run out in front of me 2 novembers ago and stopped and stared at me at 15 yards while i fumbled around to get my release on. Remember success is where preparation meats opportunity.

RE: My Friend's Buck from last night
